2015 Map of Port Tampa

About this map

MacDill Air Force Base dominates the Interbay Peninsula in this 2015 look at the shoreline where Tampa and Saint Petersburg meet across Old Tampa Bay. The geography is defined by a complex network of coastal residential developments and protected natural areas. On the western shore, the finger-canals of Venetian Isles and Shore Acres illustrate modern Florida coastal engineering, contrasting with the preserved terrain of Weedon Island and its surrounding mangroves. To the east, the industrial and military footprint of Port Tampa and the base provides a sharp counterpoint to the residential neighborhoods of Sunniland and Monnette. This era shows the mature development of neighborhoods like Snell Isle and Eden Island, while the deep-water Port Tampa Channel and South Gandy Channel remain critical maritime corridors for the region's shipping and transit economy.
